Project Censored The Movie showing at SRJC Petaluma Campus

Many documentary films give us important information about what

is wrong with our society, but they often fail to offer a solution. 'Project

Censored: The Movie' explores and publicizes censorship in our society by

exposing important stories that the public should be aware of, but is not.

Project censored is a media watchdog group and is the solution to Corporate
Media's failure to give the American public real news and information. College
students can enroll in a Project Censored course and from there learn to become
citizen journalists and uncover the real news that our society needs to become
an informed electorate. Since the class was founded at Sonoma State University 38 years ago by former professor Carl Jensen, the project has grown to
include over 25 colleges and universities across the world that offer a Project
Censored course. It was the filmmakers' inspiration, as two fathers from
California (Doug Hecker, from Petaluma, Ca, a former SRJC and SSU student who took the course in 1996 and his synopsis was published in the 1997 annual Project Censored book, and Christopher Oscar, from Sonoma, Ca, a former journalism student at Long Island University C.W. Post Campus in New York) to take Project Censored on the road and create a documentary film
that explores why corporate media fails to report the truth. They spent the
past six years of their lives creating this incredibly inspiring film, which
reaches all audiences. Corporate media critics like Noam Chomsky, Howard Zinn,
Greg Palast, John Perkins, Cynthia McKinney and a host of others are featured
in the film. The film, created by two regular family men
who decided it was time to take action against the corporate media giants that
have failed the American people in their role as reporting the news. It's time
for the people of America to take back the airwaves! To preview a trailer of the film, please visit www.projectcensoredthemovie.com
